North facing kitchen.

I would go for a lovely pale sunhine yellow if you lack sun!

I grew up in a house with a north facing kitchen. My mother's choice was always to paint it pink. It always felt lovely and warm, but that was probably due to the coal fired Rayburn.☺

My North facing kitchen is painted Aqua a sort of sea green. I know green is said to be a cold colour but there is not a lot of wall with the tiles and wall cupboards.
The room has never felt cold.

Ours is bright pink. Not a colour I would have chosen, but already in the house and looks great. The units and work tops sound very similar to yours. In fact we also have a wall of French windows and a skylight! Spooky!

My north facing kitchen is a beautiful green with white gloss cupboards, a darkish grey worktop with flooring the same and dark green Venetian blinds. I do not think my kitchen looks dark.

Our north facing kitchen is painted peach. It's warm and pretty.

Terracotta and something called Nectar Jewels which is the palest orange with a warm pink tone is what I'm doing our kitchen in. Both are warm colours. Looking good so far with white doors and window frames.

My north facing kitchen in our old cottage only has a small window and a low beamed ceiling. The light reflects well from the white ceiling, units are cream, walls are Apple White, tiles are a grey/green and tops are Pewter grey as are handles. It never feels dark, but is nice and cool on a hot day. I do have jars, mugs etc on display which compliment the green and add colour.

Our last kitchen was north facing. I painted everything milky white (Dulux Jasmine White) including the cupboard doors and black beams. The tiles were Delft blue and white.

I have a north facing living room which is painted in Fired Earth Sienna Earth. this is a warm yellow ochre which I highly recommend.

Ours doesn't face north, but we have a very pale terracotta on the walls; I can't give the name as we mixed it up ourselves from a mixture of barley white and some tester pots of terracotta - it seems to work well!
